The following is my Angela Shelton workbook week 7, April

What are some ways
that you can ignore or suppress pain?
·
Acting as if I am fine and if I bury it deep
enough it will not affect me
·
Promiscuity
·
Drugs, alcohol, stimulants that will dull or
numb you heart
·
Building walls around your heart so no one can
get in.
·
Complete Denial
You can live with the sword pierced through you. You can
ignore the fact that you are wounded and deal with the symptoms of the cause.
You have a choice.
What symptoms can
disguise the original trauma?
·
Being tired all of the time
·
Reading and TV – (hiding)
·
Eating – using food to address my emotions
·
Not being honest with myself and others
·
Taking care of everyone else – and ignoring me.
(Abandoning myself).
·
Thanking that most people are better than me, I
will never measure up or be good enough
I have ignored the
pain in my life by:
·
Stuffing emotions
·
Hoping it will just go away w/out dealing or
facing it
·
Taking care of everyone else – no one will
notice my needs that way
·
Ignoring my own needs
·
Eating and emotional eating
·
Quitting – not exercising – not taking care of
myself
·
Watching TV – reading – listening to music
·
Focusing on everything but my life (the pain in
my life)
·
Not always making the right decisions
·
Not teaching my kids how to deal with emotional
things
·
Continuing the generational curse of stuffing
emotions, enabling bad behavior, covering up lies, keeping it all in the family……. Etc.…..
I cope by:
·
Helping other’s – serving obsessively
·
Crafts
·
Reading and music
·
Eating
·
Feeling sorry for myself
·
Taking it out on my kids and Carl
I am silent about:
·
My self-hatred
·
Things I remember
·
My body image
·
Not doing what I need to do
·
How others have hurt me -
